the only thing that springs to mind, (I've got the even cheaper cam.... )
they mention that the speed of the SD card itself is apparently critical, but if you're using a class 10 .... ;-/ well it doesn't get much faster than that...

Yea, I think it might be a defective product. Although the video is slow and skips frames.........the image is nice and clear..Bummer. I think I'll sh*t can this one and get another. Just glad they are cheep enough to do that.

I see you're in MN I grew up in Eden Prairie and have family in Zimmerman. Moved to SC about 5 years ago. How's the weather? Can you get out flying yet?

Thanks for your input.

Now, get out and fly.

I have used Class 10 SD cards (16gb and 32gb) in my RD32 (the cheap one mentioned above,) with no problems. It sounds like the problem could be that the frame rate is set too low, but I do not know of any way to change the frame rate in this camera. I therefore suspect that the card is defective.

Here is some in-flightfootage from my camera. The quality is not the best, but it's not bad for the price. Keep in mind that the camera is in an enclosure than has a plastic view port, which may affect the quality to some extent..

I'm dangerously close to Maidening three new airplanes... the field is OPEN...
but I'm still looking at ~ 15F temps... think I'll give it another week.
I'm really missing my office in South Florida right about now

I think N410DC is onto something... have you / can you try a different card?
it looks likely to be either the card, or the camera's card input.. (aka the camera itself)

Here is one from yesterday,with the camera moved to the port wingtip. The plastic that covers the front of the pod should have been cleaned before the flight; this would have improved the picture somewhat.

Wow, I'm impressed with the durability of these cam's. video isn't that bad either.
Decided to Velcro the cam to my DLG ... bad idea ... centrifugal force ripped the cam right off the plane and sent it spinning.

Check out the high speed spin and impact. The sound is kinda neat.

After the two crashes the camera still looks and works like new.
